What do you like best about Workbooks?

The best aspect of workbooks is the ability to create a variety of relationships between people, organisations and activities that can describe very complex networks to users. The reporting system is also very good in getting the information you need out of the system quickly ans systematically. We looked at other systems, which are all inflexible and based solely on sales operators using it rather than a wider group of team members Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The only aspect of the system that is more difficult to work with is getting buy in from team members to understand the complexity of the system, which can work to their benefit. However this is looking for issues rather than any genuine concerns Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our business manages a large number of relationships across an industry and is predominantly IP based in terms of our 'products'. Therefore, Workbooks provides that best customizable system available to us which can manage this way of working. The benefits we have realised have been better membership sales and servicing of clients, as well as spotting opportunities for future development of our services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The aspect of Workbooks that really stands out over and above other CRM providers is it's flexibility - we are yet to encounter a business process that we haven't been able to incorporate into Workbooks. Furthermore anyone can carry out the necessary development work quickly via the Workbooks interface without the need for technical input/code writing. This enables us to develop how we do business organically and Workbooks can functionalise our ideas very quickly and easily. Also the support is great and I like the fact that they are UK based and you can go visit them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Nothing. I do look forward thought to when we will have more out of the box integrations to other cloud providers and services in the same way that Salesforce has. E.g. Natterbox, Survey Monkey, BI dashboard providers like Sisense or Tableau. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

It's brilliant, just bear in mind what you might want to integrate with in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workbooks is extremely intuitive. We use it as both our CRM and ERP systems and we simply love it. It strikes the perfect balance between being powerful and functional yet very easy to use and understand straight out of the box. Workbooks future-proofs us and allows us to analyse, adapt and grow very quickly. It's the spine of our whole business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

It's ease of use and accessibility through any browser or location meaning we can work from different locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The requirement of connectivity, meaning that actually despite being able to work anywhere - it's pretty fundamental to have internet access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

If you're looking for a quality product which not only has the functionality but the the right price tag, Workbooks is for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating new cases and workflow is made manageable and can be customised to the way our different business functions work. This makes it absolutely essential in our day to day operations and makes it easy for us to track what is going on with any different customer at any different time.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

I have worked with many CRM systems from a Sales perspective in various organization (mostly media sales and publishing). The thing that stands out for me most working with Workbooks is the intuitive way with which it operates. Most of the people on my sales team are pretty tech savvy, and are used to working with CRM systems. We are how ever employing a team of administrative workers who are rather reluctant when embracing new technologies and change in general. I was amazed at how quickly they embraced working with Workbooks. The fact that it has a similarity with their Windows environment (start button at the bottom of the screen etc.). made the change that much easier.

The fact that it is a cloud based service gave my sales team more freedom to operate and keep everyone informed on their progress even while away from the office. Because of this we have been able to quickly respond to developments in the field which has expended our opportunities.

The implementation of old data into workbooks went rather smoothly as well. As well as the general set up of the business. We worked with a local partner of Workbooks in the Netherlands, and they have helped us a great deal in respects to getting a clear view on what we needed etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Do date there is nothing I dislike about this service.

I would like to know more about the app solution, since this has been a request from my sales team multiple times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

We have found that it suits all our needs and more. It's a great service that allows us to grow and grows with us in terms of scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workbooks has helped us on a number of levels. We have integrated our sales and marketing data bases, now seeing a direct correlation between our sales clients and our marketing efforts (the mail chimp integration has also made sending specific mailings to specific target groups faster, more cost effective and has yielded higher results, because of our ability to respond quickly to developments on the sales front.

Also sending invoices, confirmation orders and offers has become of great value through PDF template generation.

All in all Workbooks has it all in terms of our needs and requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Workbooks is easy to use and easy to customise, additionally it has allowed us much more freedom to gather relevant information as well as allowing us to report this back to our clients with much more granularity than we ever have before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Workbooks is object based and therefore very different to our previous CRM system, once this is understood the rest all falls into place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Highly recommended. Excellent service offered throughout and a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our previous CRM system had a habit of generating errors and the support service offered was poor by comparison the support offered by Workbooks is prompt and efficient. The online help is a great resource, as is the Knowledge forum. All calls to the help desk have been handled professionally and any issues thrown up as part of our migration have been resolved.
